Welcome
Thank you for taking time to learn about the role AP&P plays in law enforcement and the community. The AP&P agent has complex and multifaceted responsibilities. From the courts to probation and from prison to parole, an AP&P agent is committed to helping the offender become a productive member of the community.
In some cases, agents must also protect the community when offenders make choices that jeopardize public safety. An average work week for an AP&P agent can consist of acting in the role of a police officer, court advisor, mentor or social worker. Knowing when to assume each role can be very difficult, but our agents are up to the task.
Agents go through vigorous training both in specialized classroom study and various situational scenarios. Agents must prepare themselves both mentally and physically.
AP&P agents work hand-in-hand with other law enforcement agencies, the courts, Board of Pardons and Parole, and treatment providers. The supervision of offenders transcends far beyond ensuring they comply with their conditions of probation or parole.
Our officers often have to assist offenders with obtaining the basic essentials to survive. This may include accessing resources such as housing, employment, school, training, food, treatment, therapy and counseling. One of the resources available to assist offenders is our Community Correctional Centers, which are operated by AP&P.
AP&P is aware that it takes a community to help an offender succeed. Our agents actively work with the community partners to help increase the chances for success. This is a sophisticated law enforcement job and, with your support, offenders can succeed and communities can be safe.
